What is Photofacial?
Photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target pigmentation, sun damage, and broken capillaries. It stimulates collagen production and evens out skin tone. The result is clearer, brighter, and rejuvenated skin with a more youthful appearance.
